# 2.7 bug? / Problem with RSS Feed redirection using Permalink feature.

 * Have been using WordPress since years ago.
    Just set up a test blog using the
   newly released 2.7. Having some issues with the permalink feature, wonder if 
   it’s a bug or not.
 * What I have done:
    1. Set up a test blog from scratch (reset MySQL database and delete all WordPress
       files) in a top-level sub-directory. (e.g. [http://mydomain.com/testblog/](http://mydomain.com/testblog/))
    2. Changed the permalink settings to “/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/”. Using“
       cat” and “tag” as the ‘custom structures for your category and tag URLs’.
    3. Made an .htaccess writable by Apache and WordPress did successfully update the
       settings for mod_rewrite.
 * My Problem:
    1. In WordPress 2.6.5, I would be able to access my feed using the address: “[http://mydomain.com/testblog/feed/atom/&#8221](http://mydomain.com/testblog/feed/atom/&#8221);.
       Nice and neat.
    2. But in WordPress 2.7, typing “[http://mydomain.com/testblog/feed/atom/&#8221](http://mydomain.com/testblog/feed/atom/&#8221);
       would always redirect me to “[http://mydomain.com/feed/atom/&#8221](http://mydomain.com/feed/atom/&#8221);
       and thus resulting in an Error 404.
 * Is that something I did wrong? or an unintentional bug in 2.7?
    Thanks for any
   help. Cheers!
